"BOOTS ON THE GROUND REPORT" BY MNT GOAT, 16 FEB

The good news is that this final rate change must be getting close at hand as my CBI contact informed us last week, as you already may know, that someone on the committee team was tasked to supply the IT people with a good set of pictures of the lower denominations along with the coins and a written explanation of how the conversion would work from the three zero notes. 

This all fits into what we are now hearing in our news of today only let’s not go off half-cocked and over speculate on the news,,,okay, like some idiots I know… ☹ . However, keep that champagne ready!

 Question "Just be blunt...Make it simple.  If someone holds a million dinars what is the most  one can get from this amount over the next several years?"  I've been blunt about this...It depends on how long you hold it.

  Let's  say it starts to go up in increments like I think it's going to happen, you have to look at your 1 million dinar and think to  yourself, 'Am I going to be happy with the current exchange rate.'  

 It really depends on when it gets to a rate that you like.  As  long as they can stay out of conflict, continue moving forward like they have with reform, getting back in the World Trade  Organization, showing back up on Forex, these things are very important on give value to the Iraqi dinar.

 The Baghdad dollar ends its week near 152.5.. The money changers felt “the tension has ended” with the Americans

The US dollar’s exchange rates ended the week steady on Thursday night, hovering around 152.5 thousand dinars for every $100 note. This level of stability has persisted for almost two weeks, in part because market observers were bullish about “the disappearance of the specter of security tension” between Washington and Iraq.

This evening, the direct selling prices per note at the major exchange businesses and their offices in the Baghdad districts varied from 152,400 to 153,500 dinars, while the purchasing prices ranged from 152,200 to 151,500 dinars.

"RV UPDATE" BY MILITIAMAN, 15 FEB

 Iraq is a border country with Kuwait.  Iraq is considerably larger than Kuwait...They have massive amount of oil...liquid natural gas...gold...some of the biggest mineral deposits in the world that Kuwait does not have.  You have to ask, why did they bring this up? - Article quote: "The Kuwaiti dinar ranked on the throne of currencies in the world for the year 2024 while the US dollar came in last place on the list of 10 strongest global currencies  ...the dinar of the Gulf State is divided into 1,000 smaller units known as fils."

 Iraq does not have fils.  They're going to be talking about fils because why?  Because...Al-Sudani has stated the dinar is stronger than the dollar.  They're going to need to be able to make change...When they bring this up with Iraq's situation I think they're doing it in a manner that suggests the region can support Iraq having a strong currency stronger than the dollar..
